Again the Farmer Is the Victim. haato the diaciple fared forth without purse or script or a Gladstone bag full of clean linen and preached the gospel wh<Wever there were two or three to hear him. M But times have changed; only poor nuts and fanatics go about preaching outside of churches today. Christiani ty today is a healthy organized busi ness institution and preaching has become a salaried profession, the preacher requiring a pastorate' or “supply.” When they lose one pastor ate by having offanded their flock by too much activity in politics or too much activity among neglected wives and widows, then they go in the news papers and advertise for a new pas torate. If a job is obtained by adver tising in the newspaper, the preacher will likely as not announce to his employers that he received a call from God to come to their church. He would never give *th«i newspaper credit for its worth as an advertising medium.” But preachers are not the only ones who hear “calls.” There is an inter esting story of a layman who learned that there was to be a vancy in an ap pointive department of his State gov ernment. H« immediately busied him self securing written endorsements and having his friends “pull wires” in his behalf. When tfcr job was safely tucked away j*e unctuously announced through ti*»e newspapers that he had reqe»-ed a “call” to serve his State and had only heeded it after long and prayerful consideration. What many of us— r preachers and laymen—mistake for “calls” to serve God or state is merely money talking. “Calls” without the usual emoluments go unheeded. The New Augusta Chronicle. Among influences at work against high protective tariff, said the President of the American Tariff league last year, wa s the American icr. Now we see how wdl the tariff forces are opposing those whose be liefs are contrary to their own. Until m few months ago it seemed that revision'of tariff, save in the case of farm products, would be down ward. * But by using the Hoover argument " that a higher tariff is the foundation of farm relief, the protectionists apread the word that sweeping up ward revisions are necessary ail along line to save American industry >m foreign competition. And so manufacturing chemists ask tor increases in the chemical schedule ivnging from 30 to 100 per cent. Other industries are sure to be heard from. The pretext of helping the farmer, It seems, is being employed to got a general boost on manufactured pro ducts—and the farmer will have to pay hit share of the cost, as always/ The new owners of The August Chronicle—Harold Hall, business man ager of the New York Telegram, and William Lavarre, formerly with the New York Times—are giving their readers a sample of metropolitan journalism and, incidentally, making a live-wire out of one of the South’s oldest newspapers. Friday of last week, a former mem ber of the Augusta fire department shot and killed an employe of an Augusta manufacturing establish ment. The slayer made his escape. The legal services of a city court judge were s<rured by the defense. Accord ing to The Chronicle, the lawyer help ed hide his client from the officers of the law seeking his arrest and that paper charges that an effort was be ing made to set yp a claim of self-de fense until it fon*staIle4 the effort by publishirg accounts from eye-wit nesses which indicate that an unarm ed man was killed without a chance to defend himself. And as one Northern visitor to Au gusta expressed it in a letter to the editor of The Chronicle, many South ern voters based their objection to Al Smith on the grounds that he was a product of Tammary Hall. If the charges published by The Chronicle are tru<\ some lawyer-politicians in the South can give Tammany cards and spades and then' beat it at its own game. The Croricle is also “going after” reckless automobile drivers, a little ten-year old boy having been killed in Augusta Friday night by a hit-and- run driver while waiting for a street car. \ Readers of The People-Sentinel are again reminded that the lives of their children are being endangered constantly by reckless motorists. So far, fortunately, there have been no fatal accidents in Barnwell. Let’s make sure that they don’t occur by curbing th<» tendency to use the streets as motor speedways. In Memory of Our Dear Aunt, Mrs. Mag Mitchell. Large Mary Washington ONE YEAR OLD ASPARAGUS CROWNS $3.00 Per Thousand IN QUANTITIES OF FROM 1,000 TO 10,000, ABOVE 10,000, AT $2.50 PER THOUSAND. J. H. BOUKNIGHT Johnston, S. C. and friends. Only six more days and Aunt Mag would have counted her 90th birthday, but with her noble character and mill, peaceful disposition we rest assured that she is safe in Jesus waiting for that resurrection morn when He shall take all in His fold to His eternal home. Dearest Aunt we have given thee To our Heavenly Father above, May thy memory long will linger, Around the one we all did love. Like a flower in the morning. You were plucked with the d'.'w of dawn, Leaving all who dearly mias you, To wait for that resurrection morn. As we watched and kindly waited, Hoping lorger you could stay, But alas our hopes were ended. Until that great Judgment Day. A face we loved to see is gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in the home, Which never can be filled. Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast. Sweetly His soul overshadows, Gently it now rests. Dearest Aunt Mag, how we love you It’s impossible for us to tell, But our Heavenly Father callg you, So we must bid you farewell. Farewell, dear Aunt Mag, You have only gone before, But teach us Dear Father, to be good So we can meet her on that Golden Shore. —Contributed. IN MEMORIAM.

SIMPLICITY OF DESIGN FORD CHARACTERISTIC On Hearing “Calls/ Up in North Carolina, a Baptist pfurtor^vangelist announced in an ad- Wtisement in a Durham newspaper that he “is now open for a pastorate or mpply.” In commenting on the lent the Elisabeth City (N. .)

For many years Aunt Mag had been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. C. L. Wooley, near EJko. There she remained until she heard the voice of her Dear Saviour calling her to that wonderful Home where sorrow * * and troubles are known no more. Several days before her death, she took to her bed with a severe attack of pneumonia, and in spite of all that loving hand® could do, our Heavenly Father thought her earthly journey completed and so He called her home. Her body was laid to rest Tuesday, the 19th, in the Bates cemetery near Williiton at 11:00 o’clock by Rev. R. W .Davis, pastor of the Williiton Bap tist Church. i H She leaves to mourn her dt*partur<> one daugh ter r Mrs. C. L.

Simplicity of design, which helped make the Model T Ford car famous all over the world for its dupendable per formance and economical mainten ance #osts, is equally characteristic in the new Model A Ford. This simplicity is particularly notice able in the ignition system of the new car. This ignition system is standard but the units are new in design and construction and somewhat revolution ary, but there is nothing complicated about it. Being in effect the vciry life- stream of the car, it was designed by Henry Ford and his associates to give a maximum amount of service - with a minimum amount of trouble and the thousands of Model A Fords which already have seen hard sciwice under all sorts of conditions have vindicat ed the judgment of the designers. moved and replaced without the as sistance of any tools whatever in less than a minute’s time. OFFICE TOWEL POEMS OF OLD ARE REVIVED. There have been several poems on “The Printer’s Towel,” but the original one, dating back fifty or more years, runs as follows: W T hen I think of the towel. The old-fashioned towel. That used to hang up by the pjrint- house door, I think that nobody. In these days of shoddy. Can hammer out iron’ to wear as it wore. The tramp who abused it, The devil who used it, The comp, who got at it when these two were gone, The make-up and foreman. The editor, poor man, Each rubbed some grime off for the heap they put on. In, over, and under, Twas blacker than thunder; Tw as harder than poverty, rougher than sin. From the roller suspended, It never was bended. And it flapped on the wall like a banner of tin. It grow thicker and rougher, And harder and tougher, And daily put on a more inkier hue; Til one windy morning,' Without any warning, It fell on the floor and was broken in two. Another little ditty on the print ing office towel, going the rounds back in 1899, was this one: * I want to be a printer, And with the printers stand; Green ink upon my forehead, Dotted here and there like sand; And if a man subscriber Comes in to start a roar, I’ll stab him with the office towel That leans against the door. Card of Than! We take this means df expressing our sincere thanks to the many rela tives and friends of our mother, Mrs. Maggie Mitchell, for the many kind nesses and the beautiful floral offer ings during her illness and death. And to Dr. Blanchard for his untiring efforts to prolong her life. May God bleas eozk and all of'you. and Mrs. C. U Wooley. One of the unique features of this new system is tho elimination of high tension cables from the distributor to the spark plugs. Thin bronze springs, short sturdy and easily kept in place, are used for the connections between spark-plugs and distributor. The™ is but one high tension cable and this connects the coil, placed on the dash, with the distributor which is on the right hand side and at the top of the engine cylinder head. The one primary wire from the switch to the distributor passes through the dash in a steel conduit which elimi nates wear and danger from possible short circuits and which makes it im possible for any thief to cut the wires at the ignitiop lock and wire around it, so as to start the car without a key. Ignition troubles, with this design, are rare and those few which may oc cur can easily be detected and readily remedied. For example, if the con denser which is a part of the ignition system should fail it is so designed that it can be replaced in two minutes. Likewise the greaker arm can be re Henry Sandifer left Tuesday for North Carolina, where he has accepted a position with a construction com pany in that State.
